Age Of Innocence Lyrics

Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: Dance of Death

I can't be compromising in my thoughts no moreI can't prevent the times my anger fills my heartI can't be sympathizing with a new lost causeI feel I've lost my patience with the world and all

And all the politicians and their hollow promisesAnd all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with itThe working man pays everything for their mistakesAnd with his life too if there was to be a war

So we can only get one chance can we take itAnd we only got one life can't exchange itCan we hold on to what we have don't replace itThe age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream

A life of petty crime gets punished with a holidayThe victims' mind are scarred for life most everydayAssailants know just how much further that can goThey know the laws are soft conviction chances low

So we can only get one chance can we take itAnd we only got one life can't exchange itCan we hold on to what we have don't replace itThe age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream

You can't protect yourselves even in your own homeFor fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyesSo now the criminal they launch right in our faceJudical system lets them do it, a disgrace

Despondent public worries where it will all endWe can't protect ourselces our kids from the crime trendWe cannot even warn each other of evil in our midstThey have more rights than us, you cannot call that just

So we can only get one chance can we take itAnd we only got one life can't exchange itCan we hold on to what we have don't replace itThe age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream

The age of innocence is fading like an old dream
